I have to go to my half sisters wedding reception thing, and Im pretty damn scared. Because
1)I havent seen her for 4 years
2)Although we get on fine, I dont really know her all that well, plus Ive never met her 2 yr old daughter, so awkwardness ahoy!
3)I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A WEDDING BEFORE.
4)Ill have to miss my mums birthday to go. (shes ok with it, but still.)
I sort of got the general idea from the invite that money or vouchers are the preffered gift, so thats a worry gone. Im having a panic about what to wear though. Like I said Ive never been to a wedding or reception, so I dont know what the general dress is. Id imagine smart, but to what extent?! I have some smart clothes, but nothing wedding-worthy, and Im TOTALLY anti dresses.
Can anyone help me out on what to wear? even give me some websites with ideas? Id ideally like to wear a nice blouse and long jacket, but I dont know if that qualifies as "ok".
Im trying to put off the "oh god, what the hell do I talk about?" stress till I get there. 98% of who are going to this I DO NOT KNOW. The fact I dont know my dads side of the family all that well anyway doesnt help.
The fear. I has it.
